Couple Questions???

-----------------------------------

Ok, I know what I'm trying to ask but having a hard time putting it in words. Just trying to understand how wd's and physical dependency work(s)...... 

Normally MY physical withdrawals from oc's lasts like 7 days. (I know everyone is different)  If I stopped oc's and hopped on suboxones(after mild wds of course) for 7 days and then stopped THOSE(suboxones).........would I withdrawal from:  

A) The  Suboxone? (Or is ten days not enough to get physically dependent on Sub?) 

B) Just opiates in general? (Because I just went from one opiate to another.....)

C) No physical withdrawals (because Im passed the wd period for oxys and 10days is too short to get dependent on Suboxone)

I guess what I'm trying to ask is do the opiate receptors get physically dependent on a SPECIFIC opiate or just any?  

Reason I ask is because I've done this with methadone. (Did like 3days of Methadone to get thru oxy wd's and felt physically ok when I was thru)  After being on alot of oxycodone - like 150-250mgs/day.  

I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here and am thinking someone will have the answer or explanation.  

Thanks, Mike
